Input - Simply connect the amplifier's "+" and "-" outputs
directlyto the red
(+) and black (-) inputjacks on the back of
the enclosure (see diag.
1).
- Since the loudspeakers have a rated
ce of
8R each, more than one speaker
usually bewired to one amplifier channel (see
See "amplifier impedance load" below.)

Amplifier ImpedanceLoad - When you connect morethan one loudspeakersystem to an amplifier channel, either by
twisting two wires together at the speaker location or via individual "home runs"from the speakers to the amplifier,the load
impedanceto the amplifier drops. To find the maximum numberof
8R speakersthat can bewired in parallel to each
channel of your power amplifier, divide
8 by the amplifier's minimum impedance load recommendation (e.g. 8R Control@
speaker
+ 4R amp's minimum impedance = 2 speakers per channel, see diags. 2 & 3).

SerieslParallel - It is possible to utilizevarious serieslparallel 'hook-up' topologiesto increasethe number of loudspea
driven on an amplifier. See diag. 4 for one example of a serieslparallel hook-uptopology.
Note: Mismatching thespeakerimpedance such that it is below the minimum impedance rating of an amplifier channel
damage the amplifierand degradeperformance. If theapplication requires more than
2 speakersper amplifier channel
wiredin parallel, a distributedline system shouldbe considered. Also checkyour amplifier's manual for cautions and
recommendations.
Importanceof Correct Polarity ("In-Phaselout-of-Phase") - When two loudspeakersare wired with opposite polarity
("out-of-phase")relativeto each other, the lowfrequencies of the loudspeakerscancel each other, even though the speak-
ers are "working hard." Trying to correct the lack of bass with an equalizercan damage your loudspeakers
-- equalization
cannot correct polarity errors. Always makesure multiplespeakers are connected in proper polarity. (See "Poor Low
FrequencyOutput" in the Troubleshooting section for instructions about how to detect and correct polarity problems.)
-
Distributed Line Systems (Control "AT" models) - The Control@25AT & Control@28AT models come equipped with
in 701100 volt autoformers.
These types of speakers needa line distribution amplifier. As with conventional 8Qs
ers, simply connect the amplifier's
"t" and "-" outputs directly to the red (t)and black (-) inputjacks on the back of the
enclosure. Set the autoformer tap to your desired wattage. Unlikeconventional 8flspeakers, you may connect as many
"AT"speakers as you'd like toone amplifier channel
providing that all the speaker taps do not add up to more than the
amplifierspower rating
(see diag. 5).
(e.g. A 100watt amplifier channel could safely drive 13speakers set to 7.5 watts each, i.e. 13x 7.5
= 97.5 < 100)A
conservative rule-of-thumbisto try to keep the sum of the speaker loads (watts) under 314 of the power amp rating (e.g.A
100watt amplifier channel will then drive 10speaker set to 7.5 watts each, i.e. 10x 7.5
= 75 watts).

because of differencesin the acousticalsetting. Sincean enclosed room
presents acoustical boundaries(walls, floors
& ceilings), sound indoors
exhibitsquitecomplex behavior. Eachtime a soundwave strikes a boundary,
part of the wave'senergy is reflectedand part is absorbed (see diag.
1).
Reflection & absorption are dependent on the freauencv of the sound wave
and the angle at which it strikesthe boundary.

Reverberation - Reverberation isthe reflectedsound
waves continuingto bounce betweenthe boundaries,losing
energywith each reflection.When sound strikes the reflec-
tive boundariesof a room,after a time the room isfilled with
random reflectedsound waves. Musicand speech become
unintelligible(see diag. 3A). To minimize reverberation ina
highly reverberant room, it isadvisableto install
more
speakers, and play them at lower levels (seediag. 3B).

Boundary Loading - This isa goodtrick for increasingbass
without taxingthe amplifier. It is also possibleto make a system

TYPICAL DAISY CHAIN CONFIGURATION
TYPICAL "HOME RUN" CONFIGURATION
Daisy Chaining - It is most common, easiest, and cheapest
to run wires from the amp to a speaker,then from that
speaker to another (see diag. 6A).
Home Runs - If you desire true stereo L & R from each
listeningposition, "home runs"are best,from the amplifier
directly to each speaker (see diag. 6B).

SOU
Wind - Wind givesthe illusionthat a sound is comingfrom
a different directionthan it really is. This createsa

propagation vector
(see diag. 1).When sound propagates
with the wind it tends to refract downward, and against the
wind refract upwards (see diag. 2), (*refractionis the term
usedto describethe bendingof sound).

- Since you usuallywant a target
background SPL of about 70dB
- 80dB to your listeners,keep in
mindthe InverseSquare Law,which statesthat in a free field with no
walls, floor, or ceiling,the intensityof sound decreases with the
square of the distance. For example when you doublethe distance
betweenthe speaker and your listener'sear, the SPLdecreasesby
6dB (i.e. If a speaker's output is 100dBSPLat 10feet away, at 20
feet away the SPL is decreasedto 94dB.) Don'tforget, a
1 OdB drop
will sound "half as loud".

It is importantto understandthat just as the propagationof sound
outdoors is effected by its surroundingsso is the propagationof sound
indoors. Some of these environmental factorsexist in both cases,
such as reflectivesurfaces and absorbant materials, but there are a
few uniqueeffects that may needto be considered. The factors
described on this Daae can cause the behavior of an outdoor installa-
tionto deviatefrom tjhe

Your Control Contractor system has been designed and manufacturedfor durability and reliableservice.As with any fine
product, proper maintenance and carewill extend the lifeof your system.
You can expect your system componentsto performindefinitely if you use them within their stated limits for power handling,
and see that they are not abused.
Always protectthe loudspeakersfrom over-excursion caused by strong subsonic signals (signals below
30Hz). If your
amplifier has a "lowcut" or "high pass"switch, engage it.
Please notethat although the C23, C25 and C28 are designedto be weather resistant they are NOTWEATHERPROOF.
